Name: Bailey Lewis
Year of Birth: 1997
Martial Arts History:
I began Taekwondo in 2003 at the age of 5 at City West Taekwondo after seeing a demonstration at a local fete and taking interest into the sport. As I progressed through the ranks I took an interest into the sparring aspect of Taekwondo and was able to join the junior fight team. However, I did not always stand out as a talented fighter amongst the team, but with great team mates, coaches and smart discipline training I was able to work my way up to being a world ranked athlete. As of May 2017 reaching 20th WTF World ranking in the under 54kg division. Along with sparring on the world circuit I take a special interest in building the next generation of City West Taekwondo fighters in skills and knowledge.
